  • King Ghangtuk
  • King Sotumhang
  • King Limdung

  • King Dendehang
  • King Kundungjapa
  • King Kundungjapa of Limbuwan

The last king of the Bazdeo dynasty had four sons: Mundhungge, Sandhungge, Kane Hang and Kochu Hang. It is said that Kochu Hang migrated to North Bengal and established his own kingdom, Kochpiguru, from where the term Koch is derived. After the death of King Kundungjapa, Limbuwan fell into chaos and anarchy, each chief ruling their own areas independently.
